Most are just tempered glass with adhesive on one side and oleophobic coating on the other. My understanding is that they put an extra layer into the rhinoshield, a plastic layer under the glass. That will absorb and dissipate impact forces.

I'm working from memory here, I think this is what their kickstand page said a few months ago. I didn't see this description today, but their current description implies it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawready:
they also state on their site that the max hardness of there products go up to 3h..sounds outdated and over priced when the avaverage tg screen protector around the same price has all those features + a hardness avg of 7-9h...for example i am using the mime feather glass on my note 3...free shipping plus you can add an aluminum button for 1 dollar on top of that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jojocommi:
Thanks for the info bros. I am now considering getting one for my Note 3 but not sure which brand/company should I choose. I am looking at SPIGEN again since their support is finally catching up with complaints and they seem to be redeeming themselves. I just checked out mime and it looks great as well. Any more suggestions and if so which is/are the ones you recommend (wonder is someone has done a youtube vid comparison)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
I have the Mime and love it. There are no signs of bubbles or lifting edges, and it feels great without the extra button. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it as much with the extra button. The only thing about it i don't like is the wide cutout for the speaker plus sensors.

There are cheaper models that seem to be the same as the Mime at a much lower price, but if I picked a new one today I'd probably get the Rhinoshield.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] opasha:
Get the Spigen Glas.tr. It's solid. I have it and am really surprised at how sturdy, clear, and responsive it is. No smudges or scratches either.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
I have the mime featherlite and love it. Thin and strong. No button needed (although i put on one for fun)

i am quite surprised there haven't been threads with people experimenting with glass protectors and plastic protectors on their own. either way it's redundant but on the other hand can extend the longevity of the glass protectors if having glass isn't your number one priority.

So BSE is getting in on the N5 action too as they are making a front and body protectors.

Linky: http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-5-skins-screen-protectors-cases-covers-shields-films?mode=list&

These are wet-apply screen protectors, so they basically take a bit extra care and time to install.

You should be able to get a full kit spec'd to your liking (Glossy or Matte) for about $10. They currently have a 20% off promotion for pre-ordering now too and offer sales from time to time.

I really liked my Nexus 4 BSEs considering they offered a bumper-optimized sized version. They are slightly rubbery, so not 100% smooth as glass, but close, and fit great and preserve the beauty of the N4 display/body as if naked. I would not bother with the sides, just the front and back.

I'd be curious to hear of some feedback on the N5 version if anyone gets one. I think I'd prefer a glossy front for best display quality, but would the matte body/back be the way to go for a black N5's back?

Although, I am kind of considering the dbrand skin on the back or risking going naked, I thought BSE deserves a mention/look since it is a nice alternative for a clear option that offers the total package.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 3des:
My BSE is shipping to my house as we speak. I've been a fan for a few years, will update in thread once I install the screen protector
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bash156:
Does this screen protector feel rubbery when you hold the phone in your hand looking for a non slip feel phone is too slippy man
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Hmm... A wet-apply matte skin. That should be interesting :p Can anyone comment on what it's like?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
I am a fan of theirs too. But I went with xtremeguard because they had a 80 percent off sale on their skins so I spent something like 1.80 on one. For that price I can't say no to it.

But otherwise I would go with BSE.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BodegaBay:
Sure. I have BSE a try after having PhantomSkinz, XO Skin, and Xtreme Guard on previous phones and I'm glad I did. They are the thinnest film and apply better than all the other wet skins I've tried. I used the clear front and matte back on my HTC One and its a fantastic combination. It complimented the One's satin metallic silver back perfectly. And I mean perfectly. No one could tell I had a skin on back there. Non glossy, non reflective.

I'm going to do the same setup with my new White N5. I have a feeling it might sick better to the white back due to the plastic being more smooth than the more "rubberized" texture of the black N5.

Will take pics on Tuesday.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BodegaBay:
Sorry for the delay. I applied the skin overnight and it looks and feels incredible. The matte back/sides/camera make covered it nicely in a satin finish. The front was glossy clear with extremely minimal orange peel and barely noticeable rubbery effect. For ~$8 it's an excellent price for protection (albeit minimal protection) that doesn't add bulk to the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HelloGQ:
Is that the matte back on both phones? Looks like wax paper. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I had the Ghost Armor clear skin on screen and the matt on the back and sides of my OG EVO and that was the best combo I have used. When I got my Sprint SII they didn't have matt for the back so I went with clear and I hated it, felt very plasticy/cheap and edges started getting dirty and coming off easily. Granted the back of SII had more curves than N5 so it should be better on it but if you plan on putting in your pants pocket be prepared for the edges to possibly come off on the back.

Since I always had problems with back and sides coming off too easily I stopped using them, maybe it will be better on N5. Also be careful with some cases if you just have on your screen, if edges of cases touch some of the screen they can lift up the skin and ruin it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BodegaBay:
It's the same phone taken under different locations and light settings. The matte just emphasizes the already matte white back. It's really no where near the opaqueness of wax paper :)

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

The BSE skins have never lifted on me. The trick to getting the curved edges stick is being slow and having patience. You have squeegee the solution out to a point where it's barely dry but still tacky and then palm or press down for 2-3 min letting your body heat effectively seal it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Been waiting for them to release skin for a while. Have back on N4 covered in one of them, still holding great. Sides on N4 did peel off eventually, but sticking to rubberised material isn't easy i guess.

I'm thinking of going for glossy one.

Does the skin make it a bit more sticky, rubbery to hold? I enjoyed that on my N4, made it a lot grippier on the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BodegaBay:
The glossy clear one for the back would be good as well. All the matte skin does is enhance the already matte back of the N5. Just a matter of personal reference.

I also had BSE on the N4 and liked the glossy front and back. Due to the material and edging, I wasn't keen on putting on the side protection.

The BSE back does indeed have a rubbery effect on the back creating an gripper effect. Although I think it's Medio with the white back than the already black back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kevlar.com:
has anybody tried the matte one on the black Nexus5 back?

please, can anybody post some pictures of this combination?

I can't actually imagine the result...

Can these skins surely not ruin the underneath phone body?

or underneath phone display?

thanks

Hi!

@ferritt: I'm really wondering why your TomTom Setup is so complicated (compared to mine)... Most of us just copied the correct voice.cab (UK Janes file is called engf.cab) to the device and started it (NOT installing to the Storage Card).

It creates a folder under /My Documents -> tomtom with the following files in it -> CurrentMap.dat, data02.chk (that should read data05.chk for english Jane) and data02.vif (data05.vif).

Final view:

/My Documents/tomtom/

CurrentMap.dat

data05.chk

data05.vif

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I own a Jiayu G4 Advanced for about a week now and I have been having these weird battery drops. Whenever it reaches about 40%, it drains to about 10% in just minutes.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdvaxel:
I don't think that will help, since my battery is not draining fast in general, but only when I reach about 40%. So something must be using a lot of the battery but I don't know what.

Its an old prblm with android. Android is power hungry. I think theres a prblm in your battery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meleemaru2k:
Same Problem.

Hey, i got a Jiayu G4 Advanced, also having the Problem you described.

For me this happens when the battery reaches 30%. After that it'll go down to 15% in minutes, and from there on it becomes normal again.

It's not caused by powerhungry apps, because when it's over 30%/under 15% it drains normally.

I already used a battery calibration app and also fully discharged the battery - both didn't fix it.

I assume that it's software relate, maybe a bug in the ROM? I'm too lazy to try other roms right now, maybe i'm going to give those MIUI roms a shot later this week.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmatias:
Just to say that I have exactly the same problem with my recently bought Jiayu G4T. The battery usually takes somewhere from half a day to 1 day to drop 20%. However, between 30 and 40% it starts dropping with a speed that's even greater than playing a game while using all 4 cores for some other power hungry tasks. From 35 to 15%, which is 20%, it drops in like half an hour (and not half a day or 1 day). And then, from 15% to 0%, it again takes something like half a day.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziomek666:
As already said, calibration does NOT help. IMO it's seriously the ROM's fault,here's why.

JIAYU has 2 memory versions : 1/4 and 2/32. (RAM/ROM) , and most ROMs are prepared either for 1/4 (1850 mAh) or 2/32 (3000mAh) .

You probably have 1/4 3000 mAh version, and to make battery work find specific ROM.

Hey there,

I received my Nexus 5 some days ago, I rooted it with the CF-AutoRoot, it worked fine, but since today, it is bricked. By the magic operation of Jesus maybe, who knows.

It don't boot, I don't see anything on the screen, I don't know if it is turned on or off… It just won't reply. To anything, fastboot, adb or whatever else. I can't boot in recovery or something else.

I think I have a splendid bricked late-2013 phone… I followed some tutorials to unbrick phones, the power + trick, but nothing.

The only thing I have on a windows computer is a "tadam" when I plug the USB, but that's it, no fastboot or adb, no screen, nada. But this sound of a plugged USB device. Knuh…

What the hell can I do ?

Shall I call Google tomorrow for RMA ?
